Marine Corps League Asks
Truman To Fire Johnson
Allies Expecting Major Assualt Around
Masan, Taegu And Kyongju By Communists
WASHINGTON, Sept 8. (UP)—
The Marine Corps league today
called on President Truman to fire
Defease Secretary Louis Johnson
and put a Marine general on the
joint chiefs of staff.
But the Marine league conven-
tion, apparently somewhat molli-
fied by Mr. Truman's personal
apology to the corps yesterday,!
voted down a resolution offered by :
its leaders calling for the removal
of Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son.
Only one of the 150 delegate:; on
the floor voted against the resolu-
tion for Johnson's ouster, and on-
ly two dozen voted to get rid of
Acheson.
Hut the delegates, all
leathernecks, wore solid in call-
ing for elevation of the Marine
corps to equal status with the Ar-
my, Navy and Air Force on the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. They whoop-
ed through a resolution rocom-
its chairman in regular rotation.
The Marine League vote came
as two administration members of
Congress, both ex-Marinos, plan-
ned to introduce legislation that
could reopen the squabble be-
tween President Truman and the
Leathernecks. They wanted a place
for the Marine Corps commandant
on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The league resolution condemn-
ing Acheson was rejected against
the urgings of League Comman-
dant Clay Nixon of Seattle, who
earlier told the convention “I’m a
Republican."
Nixon said that if there is any
big hand when he retracted per-
sonally his statement that the Ma-
rines had a propaganda machine
“almost equal to Stalin's."
Delegate I. D. Hale of Milwau-
kee callod on the league to support
Mr. Truman on the Acheson is-
sue. He said Sen. Josoph R. Mc-
Carthy, R., Wis., an cx-Marine,
“hasn't come up with one case”
of Communism in the State De-
partment after months of digging.
Another speaker warned that
“the Communists would be very
proud if we kicked Dean Ache-
son around.”
In Congress, meanwhile, Rep.
Mike Munsfield, D., Mont., and
Paul H. Douglas, D., 111.,
came up with legislation to put

Malik May
Use Veto
In UN Vote
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Sept. 8.
(UP'—Russia's Jacob Malik poised
the threat of the 45th and 46th
Soviet vetoes over the United Na-
tions Security Council today to
block adoption of its annual report
to the general assembly in a form
distasteful to him.
In closed meeting, the 11-na-
tion group tentatively voted down
a Russian proposal to exclude
from the annual report an ac-
count of its business from Jan.
13 to July 15, the conclusion of
the period covered by the docu-
ment. During that time, and until
Aug. 1, Russia was boycotting the
UN. The vote was 10-1, with Ma-
lik offering no challenge to Coun-
cil President Sir Gladwyn Jebb’s
ruling that it had been legally de-
feated.
Although Malik did not choose
to exercise his veto at that point,
he emphasized that the end of the
closed meeting that a vote still
must be taken on approving the i
whole report. Although the ma- 1
jority of the council feels that the I
report is a procedural matter, and
not subject to veto, Malik may ,
use the “double veto" to block its j
approval.
Senator Urges
Adoption Of 30
Army Divisions
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. (UP'—
| Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., R„
Mass., asked Congress today to
stay in session until it provides
for a U. S. Army of 30 divisions.
Lodge said in a Senate speech
that the United States must send
enough soldiers to Europe “to pre-
vent the Soviets from ever get-
ting started.”
Ultimately, Lodge said, we ought
to deploy 20 U. S. divisions in
Europe. He proposed 10 divisions
as an immediate goal. He said
"Congress should not go home”
until it has provided for a total of
30 divisions.
The administration, Lodge said,
plans to have an Army of 18 di-
visions by next June 30. This is
not enough, he asserted. Not even
President Truman’s ultimate goal
of a 3,000,000-man armed force
can be attained under the present

Approval For 75 Housing Units b

Part of the development pro-

sent to the Public Housing Au-
thority in Fort Worth, and approv-
al is expected to give the local au-
thority the green light on further
work for 73 proposed units for
people in the low-income bracket,
according to the executive direc-
tor, W. W. Wood.
Included in the program sent to
the state authority are site loca-
tions, information on water and
sewer lines and availability to bus-
iness district, schools and church-
es.
Two sites have been selected for
the units; for whites, the Otto
Stncrkcr land on South Main

A statement from the Gladewa-
ter schools on the condition of the
schools and the ability to take on
more children has been accepted
by the Federal Housing Authority.
The program is a federal one
designed to better the living con-
ditions of people in the low in-
come bracket. A local housing au-
thority has full authority to plan
and. build the units and will be
authorized to issue and sell bonds
guaranteed by the government
without recourse to the city or any
individual. Payment will be from
the rentals on the units.
The Federal Housing Authority
requires paving and water and

The Gladewater authority was

Offices Are All
New And Modern

The second floor of the Carl
Bruce Building on West Pacific,
containing 14 offices, opened its
doors about August 15.
The offices are all n^v and
modern with winter and summer
air-conditioning, Azrock tile floors
in the hallways and in nine of the
rooms, and wall to wall carpet-
ing in the other five offices.
Each office contains the latest
in fluorescent lighting and each
has Venetian blinds.
Present offices located in the

The big fear now was that air
below would give out or that the
’ntombed men might become the
victims of deadly "black damp,” a

The men themselves laughed
and joked over their telephone
